Grandma Barb’s Brownies are full of chocolate flavor. They are fudgy brownie perfection.
And now…introducing…my favorite brownies in the whole wide world. In our house, we call them Grandma Barb’s Brownies, as our girls associate them with their grandma (my mom).
These brownies are chocolatey, fudgy perfection, and I often get asked for the recipe.
I’ve been eating these brownies for what seems like forever. These are the brownies that were commonly found on the kitchen counter when I was a kid on the farm. And now, as a grown-up with a family of my own, whenever I need a comforting pan of warm and fudgy brownies, this is the quick and easy recipe I turn to. They simply can’t be beat.
Grandma Barb’s Brownies
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 10 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, Guittard brand recommended (use a bit more if you like!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9”x13” pan lightly with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar, oil, and eggs.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until evenly incorporated. Then stir in the vanilla.

I’m also happy to share with you a new way I’ve come to use this brownie recipe of old…
Spring Brownie Pops!
Today I have a guest post at Reluctant Entertainer! Maybe you’ve heard me speak of Sandy before (here and here)? If so, you’ll know how much I think of her. And you’ll know just how much it means for me to be her guest. I hope you’ll hop on over to read about my Spring Brownie Pops and a project of Sandy’s that I am absolutely in love with, called Balcony Girls. Sandy has been investing her time and love into the lives of young girls, teaching them about virtues and positive friendships. She’s even written an e-book, available on her site, that details the program she implements with these girls. I highly recommend you getting it into your hands if you have special young girls in your life. It’s really good stuff. Stuff that I have already started sharing with my own special young girls.
I’ve been making this recipe for Grandma Barb’s Brownies for a few years now. It is so fast, easy and good! There really is no reason to ever purchase a box mix again. This is just as simple and so much better!
Your brownie recipe was very good! My family enjoyed eating them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I like that the recipe uses basic ingredients, that I always have on hand. I will make these again! They were still chewy on the second day!
My favorite brownies … I’m not looking any further or trying any more brownie recipes. Perfect texture and thickness, and not too sweet tasting. My whole family loved them, too. Thank you for sharing the recipe with this brownie lover.
I just got a new brownie pan so I am going to give this recipe a try at the weekend, it sounds very easy and they look yummy!
Great information and very well written. Great stuff! Thanks.
Those brownies look delish! I love brownies and have become the official brownie maker at my house since I’m the one who manages to make them fudgy instead of cakey. Never tried the brownie pops, but yours are very cute and I bet they taste great too.
Love these brownies… They look perfectly decadent!
Hi Stephanie! I found them at Joann Fabric & Craft. They were specially packaged for spring/Easter. I hope you can find them!
These sound delicious! Fudgy brownies are my favorite!
